Thunder are really playing great since Thanksgiving.  Missing 3 players and others step up.  Crazy.  Billy/CP lots of credit.
Westbrook has been a monster for the last month.  And he finally stopped shooting 3s.  As much as I hate on him, gotta give him props.
Harden is so overated.  He makes a big percentage of points at FT line compared to others.  Chokes in playoffs.  Blames CP last 2 years.  His game is all 3’s and FTs but league has caught up how to stop him.  Yet he ties up major cap so less depth.

I love seeing Rox lose they won tonight mainly due to Russ but its not sustainable.

True.  They each do different things great and its not a knock on either one.  Its amazing seeing Rox fans actually embrace him because they hated him because Russ won MVP and they thought Harden should have that year.  Vice versa most Thunder fans thought CP was washed up and bad teamate.

One thing that might have happened in Houston is their coach getting Russ to stop taking 3’s.  In his 45 points last night he attempted 0 from 3.  That would be a transformation for Russ.  And CP is thriving from being away from Harden.  Both coaches are getting more from them than prior coaches so it might be a win/win type deal (except OKC has the draft picks too).

Hope Adams is back otherwise KAT will feast tonight.  Nerlens got this injury last night

Just have to filter out some of his takes.  He’s a good follow and does go overboard at times.  Also has some good takes.  No its not me he lives in Australia and a huge BB fan.
Some rumours that Kobe has died on helicopter crash Sad
RIP... Very sad news for all the lives on board.
Chicago just did us a favour against Spurs. Mavs have 8,5 wins advantage from 9th place now and created a bit of breathing room against Thunder again. Great day. A bit easier schedule coming in next weeks, but a lot of back to backs

Absolutely crazy finish of regulation Minny against Sacramento. Minny was up 15 points 2 minutes before the end and they blew it for the overtime. I guess Mavs are not the only experts in blowing big leads Smile

In good new the teams on the 2nd night are PHX, ATL, Char, Chic, Sac, and finally Den which could suck 
Hopefully keep up the energy all those nights.

Just to put in perspective how historic that T Wolves choke was the other night.

Food for thought if you think we should try to trade Porzingis for Towns. (I don't even think Minnesota would listen to our offer anyway, if we put KP on the block teams will be very leery about trading for him) #Jimmywasrightallalong
